Facebook, twitter and blogging
The most googled word
Facebook is the most googled word these days (according to the sites I saw)
Which makes a lot of sense, all over the world people are using these social network sites, who doesn't have twitter, google+ or at least Facebook? I know most do have it.
The reason I know this is because I'm not even living in a first world country and even I have all three of these. There are more, I don't really know them because either they came after Facebook and I'm not really interested or they're like "my space" . Honestly, what is "my space" ? Something that came to light while I was stil playing with Lego and toy guns.
I know it's something like Facebook, but what's the point? I already have twitter, Facebook and google+.
Like I've said in previous posts, I don't give facts, I just give he random info that I've come across and found worth while.
This brings me to my next point, are you googling the right stuff? Why would you google Facebook to log into your account? Like bookmark it, or just write Facebook.com in your URL?
I dont know, I've sort of lost interest in this post now, all I can think of now is playing Lego and with toy guns, aaahh a simpler time, a time of a worry free day just doing whatever you want.
Not like today where there's work to be done and when you're done with the work you get to rest, well sort of rest 'coz all you think about is work, and money.
Here's something I found funny, got it from wiki.
"Porn is far from the most googled word. Many websites have actually been googled much more, like youtube, facebook and even google, but there is a word which has been even more googled than thosewords too, and that is "free." That is not the most googled word either. I know of another word which has been googled even more than "free" too, but for some childish reason, I'm not going to tell you."
Goodluck and have fun ;)

There's a bad side to blogging!
I personally get addicted easily, games, gambling and now blogging.
Has never been so bad that I need help or anything but I do see the problem.
It is said that although blogging is fun, there are side effects.
It is addictive, yes, I see that, I'm also proving it, right now, blogging... Seriously, too many commas?
They say it's all about the stats, and it is. It's like a game, to see how many links and page views you can get! Now I'm playing, and it's fun.
Now there's talk about neglecting the other areas of your life, wich is just dumb... I'm sure as a person you should be able to decide what more important is, your kids rugby game or blogging. Your day job or blogging. Jogging or blogging. You get what I'm saying right?
I have now moved on to see that people get in trouble for blogging, I have actually heard of this before, people tweeting or posting on Facebook about their job or spous. Aaaaaaaand then they find out, it's the Internet. Everything is accessible . . . Everything!
All this being said, blogging is pretty fun.. Random people reading your words, makes me feel important.
Goodluck and have fun ;)

How to blog! Tips!
Again my fascination with blogging continues...
According to some sites there are a few ways of generating what they call "traffic" for your blog, I assume anyone reading this has already seen those sites but if you haven't allowe me to give you a quick recap. Some of the other sites obviously give more detail and facts but as I have said in some previous posts, you won't really get that here, maybe later when I and my blog mature.
Anyway, back to the blogging....
Here are some of the top topics:
Health: more and more people are turning to the Internet to solve their medical problems.
Celebrities: everyone wants to gossip, and who better to gossip about?
Relationships: like who doesn't need relationship advice every now and then?
Finance: again, who doesn't need advice about finance?
Making sense so far? I think so.
Fashion: this makes good sense for me 'coz I've seen some weird fashion styles and I mostly assume they are seen on the net.
Buy and sell: this doesn't make to much sense to me, how to do that in a blog. Guess I'll pick it up as I go along.
Technology: now that's a blog most modern guys would follow, or maybe just the hipsters ;)
Questions and answers: also brings traffic although in my experience that mostly ends up with people dissing each other , hence Internet bullying.
And then of course there is the topic: blogging
Now that's what I'm doing , just seemed the easiest to me.
I'll have people follow my blog to see how I improved or failed. Maybe this leads to someone else's success, or my own ;)

How to get your car license in SA
Recently my family has gone thru the trouble of getting the car license, a year or two ago when I got mine (after the fourth try) and now again this week when my younger sister got hers (after the third time).
Basically I'd just like to give my opinion as it was a very traumatic experience for me as well as for my little sis. My first few tries was at a place in jo'burg area. Think it was called rivers or something, got failed while doing the test although the examiner could not see anything because he was on his cell, smsing.
Shoe just needed to bitch about that once more, and now that I'm done I can explain you the two options you have when you need to get your drivers license.
Option one: practice hard and long.. Haha "hard and long"
Then just give it your best, that's what gets you the 50/50 chance of success.
Option two: flirt, charm and joke before and after the test, examiners spend the whole day looking at people driving and complaining when they fail, yor positive mood should push them towards seeing you more as a friend, more as someone they would like to help out. Haha "help out" "long and hard".
I apologize I get bored really fast and I have to include what I think otherwise my writing won't be honest.
I wil end this in a positive note, the driving license office in Midrand, they seem to be very fair.
To all in the process of getting your license, Goodluck. We all have to go thru it.

Second breath
Ever notice the unbelievable amount of energy you get when you are over tired?
What's that about? Some primitive survival instinct or just a side effect of the human body?
Iv never really know the reason, but as it seems I'm bored again, stuck in the afternoon traffic with only my iPad to comfort me.
For me personally the effect which I call the "tweede asem" or in English second breath is both a gift and a curse, il explain.
As I am only 21 I stil party quite often in which case the second breath helps me out a lot. While I'm getting so tired I can't stand, I also want to have a good time, that's when I rely on the second breath to give me the energy to carry on partying until the morning. The gift of the second breath.
Now for the curse part of the second breath, when you're so tired you just want to sleep, for me this usually occurs on Tuesday's and Wednesday's when the week feels to long. Then I lie there in bed wishing, begging for a good nights sleep at which time the curse of the second breath kicks in and I am forced to stay awake looking at the ceiling.
Well that's just my opinion. :)

Life sims and gta
I'd like to get a debate started..
Life, is it like "the sims" or "grand theft auto" ?
I see it as a combo between the two? How about you?
It would make sense being like sims.. Have you ever stood up and walked to a room just to forget what you were about to do as soon as you enter the room? Thats God, Alah (who ever, not the point of this debate) changing your to do list while you're doing it, get it?
As for GTA, those guys are the Stander, Mafia, Gansters... Being controlled to do the bad things, the fun things!!
You also get the guys playing "roller coaster tycoon" and "theme hospital" those are the rich guys, the guys making a success of themselves (not like me who gets bored and writes random blogs) .

As a 90s kid
Many things have been said about the "90s kids" most of which positive, made me wonder.
Are most people on the Internet 90s kids? It's possible that we are, but although being most active on the net, we definitely aren't the smartest and I say this in the nicest way possible as I am a 90s kid, born in 1991. But hear me out, as my reasons make sense . . . Iv got an older brother who is in fact not a 90s kid but a 80s kid. And he's been the one to show me most "attractive" things on the net (not porn) but in fact blogs, Facebook, twitter and a few years ago even mixt. So again back to the argument, although the 90s kids are more active on the net we sure as hell don't know most about it.
Please feel free to criticize , help or even dis my blog.. I'm an attention whore when I get bored ;)
